This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, we talked about holidays, winter and otherwise.
Topics, roughly:
Time, which used to make sense
Several holidays and feelings, media, and traditions related thereto
Flash Gordon
Mixed-faith families
A New York Christmas Wedding (the lesbian time travel gay dead baby angel movie)
Gingerbread
Secular rituals
Night in the Woods: Lost Constellation
The Dark is Rising (again)
The Spirit of Christmas (which is to say, exploding)
J. Michael Strazynski's The Real Ghostbusters
Community's first three holiday specials
Justice League: Comfort & Joy
Passover and that time Moses gave Pharaoh a frog
Passover and Miles trying very hard to play it cool
Chocolate bunny funerals
